van Buren, Floris (author)Currently, the entire aviation sector accounts for 2.5% of global emissions. To commit to the Paris Agreement by 2050, new emerging technology is necessary. Electric aircraft emerged as one of the promising solutions to decarbonize the aviation sector. However, the introduction of electric aviation (EA) causes a shift from kerosene to...master thesis 2023

Tan, Martin (author)In the field of Systems and Control, optimal control problem-solving for complex systems is a core task. The development of accurate mathematical models to represent these systems’ dynamics is often difficult. This complexity comes from potential uncertainties, complex non-linearities, or unknown factors that might affect the system. Because of...master thesis 2023

van Wijk, Thijs (author)In this work we investigate two boundary-value control algorithms for the heat equation on the finite interval. The algorithms we discuss here are based on the unified transform method (UTM), a method invented by A. S. Fokas to solve boundary value problems of partial differential equations. We first inspect the boundary-value control algorithm...master thesis 2023

Theodoropoulou, Penny (author)The present Master thesis explores the implementation of a glare-based control strategy for Venetian blinds in buildings with totally transparent facades. The case study concerns the Co-Creation Center, a building that hosts three different types of events: presentations, meetings and workshops. The diverse occupancy patterns, coupled with the...master thesis 2023

Vlaardingerbroek, Jochem (author)This thesis reports the results of research into the stability of the all-to-all coupled discrete time Kuramoto model under constant, matched input disturbances. The discrete time Kuramoto model can be used as a dynamic, decentralized multi-agent orientation coordination system: once initialized, the agents will communicate their orientations to...master thesis 2023

Rietveld, Jip (author)Renewable energy generation projects are often measured by their peak capacity. A wind farm rated at 25 MW will generate 25 MW of power under the right circumstances. This peak capacity is reached very little in practice. However, these generators are forced to purchase grid operation infrastructure that can handle this peak generation event....master thesis 2022

PANNEER SELVAM SHIVANI, SHIVANI (author)Green hydrogen can be produced from various renewable energy sources like PV, wind, geothermal and biomass. Especially PV or wind sourced hydrogen production systems are becoming more prevalent as a solution to produce green hydrogen, owing to their regional abundance. In this master thesis project, a PV-grid powered electrolyser shall be taken...master thesis 2021

Nugteren, Alex (author)This thesis proposes a truck arrival shift (TAS) policy to control truck arrivals at seaport terminals. The aim is to reduce congestion at terminal gates which is caused by a lack of port-hinterland alignment. We proposed, developed, and applied a modeling framework to assesses the impact of the TAS policy for the use case of the Port of...master thesis 2021

Aishah Mahyarni Imran, Aishah (author)As the population grows, the need for mobility has been growing in recent years. In the case of urban mobility, this trend is subsequently followed by the existence of high-frequency bus transit service since last decades. This service is more prone to the bus-bunching problem since the headway between the consecutive buses can be very short,...master thesis 2018

Charalambous, Chris (author)The rapid rate in technological advancements leaves little to none options for our environment to react. The excessive use of "conventional" energy is bringing planet Earth to its knees. However, people started recognizing the value of renewable energy sources.<br/>One of the major renewable sources is the wind energy. The wind energy can be...master thesis 2017

Cheung, A. (author)Currently haptic technology is being widely implemented in applications such as tele-operation. One of the main concerns are the communication delays due to the visual or haptic feedback signals traveling long distances. Also, different subsystems handling visual and haptic feedback cause modality-specific delays causing asynchrony between...master thesis 2016
